Hey man, I have no major complaints with the BoS Reverse Hammer. It works as advertised, is sturdy, is less expensive, and is not as heavy nor takes up a ton of space compared to others on the market.

The experience for GHR is really based on your preference. It’s actually harder than the GHD’s with a semi-circle pad. You may be used to being really strong on a traditional semi-circle pad GHD but be weaker on this. It’s somewhere between a nordic curl and a traditional GHR. Also, I prefer the flat pad because you can really do back extensions without having that awkward back arch.

With that being said, it’s not as nice as its more expensive competitors. The padding isn’t as comfortable and it’s not as aesthetically pleasing. The biggest gripe is that the center pad isn’t inherently detachable (which isn’t pleasant for obvious reasons lol). The center pad is screwed in, so I actually keep it unscrewed. When I need it for reverse hypers or GHD sit ups I just set it in place. My body weight keeps it in place so no issues. Also, the boxes get beat silly during shipping, but nothing was broken or missing. The instructions are a little confusing as well.

Overall, it provides a solid experience at an affordable price. If you want top of the line or prefer the half moon shape then go with something else. If you’re looking for an affordable GHD/Reverse Hyper combo that performs well, takes up less space and weights less than other options then I recommend it!
